you'll grow into it quickly. I went from a BMW S1000RR to my 1299S in 2015; once I got used to the way a "lumpy" twin rides (I already had a Multistrada with the very smooth Testastretta 11 motor), it quickly became my favorite bike. Obviously in street riding you never need to even come close to using maximum horsepower, but the great thing about the 1299 is the torque; I just surf that infinite well of torque and probably don't go beyond say 8000rpm in normal street riding, and it's plenty good.
And when you need to make a quick escape from a hairy traffic situation, you can literally just teleport out of there.
